Yes I went with an edge 3400 converter. Its just a junkyard transmission with the HD2 shift kit in it. We'll see how it holds up

Awesome... that should be interesting. But they are a strong trans in stock form... rite?

[dawdaw]

Yes they're super strong. . Basically they are a turbo 400 with an overdrive. Hey chris does that trans have the return line for the cooler go into the case by the feed line for the cooler or back on the case close by the tail shaft housing?

[firebird_1995]

It's a 96 trans and has the cooler lines together in the front. In stock form they are supposed to be good to 450hp. With the HD2 shift kit it brings it up to 750hp)

300 more hp from a shift kit????!!!!??? wow!

Well it's a "transmission reprogramming kit". By the look of it, it moves several hydraulic circuits to different points. I guess that makes it apply the bands/clutches harder? Not sure but there's a lot of success stories out there to support it.

Just be careful of hard parts, thats what limits you to round 750hp. Otherwise, for what it costs you, these things are awesome.

I should have tossed a billet input shaft in mine but playing with fire is fun

Very interesting... really lookin fwd to TESTING.

probably more like the cushy factory shifting take 300 hp away from its capabilities.
